Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ECS image SHA-tracking announcement and how the existing ECR capability relates to EKS. Investigate the suggested Open Policy Agent approach and define what would ensure that only images signed by the specified CI/CD process run in the EKS cluster; the issue is done when that capability or pattern is documented and supported.
